I was reading up on this earlier today and it looks like an absolutely fascinating project. Rather labor intensive to rebuild the document though, and not something that seems easily automated. So many of the scrolls appear to have kinks or major warpage in them, and I can only imagine many of the layers have fused together. I guess if you could find a common thread that goes across the entire length of a layer (be that an actual physical papyrus "thread" or some marker like an inked line) you could use that as a calibration point. From there it would be easier to map out and extract the letters on each layer (though still not easy). Does anyone who's read the main article in Nature (1) have any more details? 1: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/150120/ncomms6895/full/ncomms6895.html http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2015/150120/ncomms6895/full/nco...
